Movie Info

Dr. Who was/is the longest-running entertainment series ever to run on the BBC, and for a variety of reasons, including its sassy humor, delightfully idiotic sets and special effects, and some first-class star-turns by a series of usually underrated actors in the title role, it generated a fanatic and devoted following in the U.K. One of the earliest "Doctors" in the movies was the great horror favorite Peter Cushing, and in this movie he saves the universe and, not incidentally, our dear old

Cushing plays Dr. Who with amiable gravity.

Cushing is Dr. Who, a time lord, and he and his companions travel through time and space in his time machine, the Tardis.

The settings are moderately imaginative in a tacky sort of way...

he Daleks are still classy monsters, and Cushing does his best with the rather weak script.

A travesty for Whovians and a torment for anyone else.

This tacky, simple and heartless affair doesn't quite live up to expectations.

"The Daleks" was a serial from the most popular BBC series that is an absolute television classic. Doctor Who and the Dalkes is unfortunately inferior. There isn't any deep development into the character of The Doctor in this film. Each and every doctor has its own unique personality. I didn't feel it though in this

Sort of a big budget remake of the second serial to air in my favorite show, Doctor Who. The serial in question is The Daleks, which introduces the oldest and most recurring villain (the...uh...daleks). The film is sort of hit and miss. Personally, Peter Cushing isn't as entertaining for me as William Hartnell, his TV
